You lucky geezer, lovely car..went to Maranello in Egham (UK) to see a few F430 but unfortunately I couldn't fit into one. My legs keep hitting the steering wheel that's why I stick to P-cars, much more leg room than F-cars. Saying that I wish I could fit, would have bought one immediately !

I have no idea as to what you are talking about. The interior cabin of the Ferrari is larger than Porsche.

At 194 cm, I experienced the same in a F430 Spider vs a 997 GT3 RS. I couldn't find a comfortable position for my feet in the Ferrari, while the Porsche was fine..

Nick, I definitely know what I'm talking about, the F430 has no legroom at all, in the spider, the visors block my vision completely. I then decided to go for sports seats which I was told are much lower but they made no difference. The 911 is a much more roomier car than the F430, the dealer joked by telling me that the F430 where tested by miggets

Can anybody remember the test Clarkson (Topgear) did for the F430 vs F430 spider and he bought the Ferrari test driver alond to drive the coupe. Boy was that guy short

Re: My new F430.

The Porsche has more room by far. The seat in the 430 does not go down as low. Ferrari's are designed for guys in their mid forties, slightly porky, around 5 foot 9 inches and about 80 Kg. Porsches are designed for guys that are about 5 inches taller!!

Very nice car Grant... Agree with everyone about the color... Looks very cool

Enjoy

Can't believe that you get 4 years warranty on an F car worth Pounds140k yet my boxster worth Pounds40 only gets 2 years!!!!

Cheap ass porsche!!! Anyway I rant, enjoy it sir

All Porsches in the US have four year 50K mile warranties. We also pay a lot less (try 1/2 as much). No price increase yet...base 997 is about 36K pounds.

Maybe you should drive on the right side of the road. Moving those steering wheels to the other side appears to double the cost.

Re: My new F430.

Grant, how is the car treating you? I am sure the weather hasn't been that great but I was wondering if you can update us. Cool beans.
